Recife, Brazil
The tropical shore of the small Brazilian town of Recife is delightful but deadly, and is considered one of the most dangerous swimming locales in the world. With 56 shark attacks in just twenty years, almost half of which were fatal, the town has hired 70 lifeguards to patrol the area and keep swimmers behind the coral reef, which offers some protection from sharks.

In 2014, Recife saw a tourism boost thanks to the World Cup and it embarked on a thorough signage campaign to warn visitors of possible shark attacks.
